Mark the eyewitness

Mark the eyewitness is the proper term for Mark, the author of the Gospel of Mark, despite liberal denial.

The evidence that Mark was an eyewitness to the events he recounts in his Gospel are overwhelming:

• the Gospel of Mark was written years before the other Gospels, as scholars unanimously concede today;
• Mark cleverly, with subtle humor, refers to himself as an eyewitness in the Gospel of Mark;
• Mark is critical of the Apostles in the Gospel of Mark, when no one else was; and
• Mark omitted events, such as appearances by the Resurrected Jesus to the Apostles, which Mark would have heard about but did not witness.
